Express yourself!
Have you always wanted to let Team Rockwood know just what you were thinking? Do you wonder why the panels of the strip are laid out horizontally instead of vertically? Or do you have sensitive documents that will bring down the government? In any case, we want to know! Just fill out your name and e-mail address, then let 'er rip! No question or comment is too bizarre for Team Rockwood to take a stab at, and if we can get enough mail coming in, this page will be updated weekly! (Unlike the old mailbag page, which got updated about four times in two years.)
So consider this an experiment in web interactivity. Or, consider it a way to artificially inflate our hit count. Either way, just write in!

Thanks for listing the prices of your ACL reconstruction!!!! I have an uninsured friend who may have blown hers (I really hope not, she's paycheck to paycheck, also). She has at least some of the symptoms, I need to talk to her more. Also, thank you for the year of blogs so I can tell her how long, yet surmountable, the post-surgery hill is. Have fun in Taekwondo. (I train in an offshoot of Kuk Sool Won).

Wish her luck, Tom. Hopefully, she just has a mild sprain that will get better with some physical therapy. But yes, ACL reconstruction is surmountable. In fact, Brian is now back at taekwondo twice a week and doing some light sparring (not the full-contact stuff yet, though), so remind your friend that the future-- at least, the future a year-and-a-half from now-- is bright!

Did you know... the Smurfs are communist propaganda? The Smurfs themselves all look the same and each has a specific function in society. Gargamel, the evil capitalist, is shown as a greedy miser who's only concern is the acquisition of more gold, in fact he has tried on many occasions to turn the Smurfs into gold. This is symbolic of the capitalist agenda which breaks down individuals into wages and manhours. Also, the Smurfs live in a community where no one has any more rights or privileges than anyone else. i.e., Lazy Smurf is just as well-fed and clothed as the rest of the hard-working imps. They all live in housing that is identical. Smurfette, the only female of the group is blond and blue-eyed, and was a boy Smurf at one time who drank a special potion to turn him female. Also, the leader of the Smurfs stands out from the rest by his "red" clothes and his white beard, very reminiscent of Marx.
There are many other references and symbolism if you look for it. "The Smurfs" was a French cartoon. Food for thought. Not that I have a huge problem with communism.

Blue, French Commies, eh? We knew there was a reason we never liked the Smurfs, Tony.
However, to be fair, the Smurfs are actually Belgian. Not that the Belgians (slogan: "The Nazis' stepping stone to France!") have anything over the French. Well, at least they have good waffles.

Hi, in preparation for Halloween, you might want to look at this URL of a ghost sighting (close door or turn down sound, but not all of the way down because there is some faint whispers).

Nice try, Mike, but we had a hunch about your clever ploy to give us a heart attack, so we were prepared. As for the rest of you, we're not going to tell you what's up --you'll have to click yourself-- but we will say that if you don't want to cause a commotion at work, you'd better keep the volume low. And don't sit too close to the screen. And for Pete's sake, don't be drinking anything while clicking. Just be safe, 'kay?
